Re: Sphere Guides

there's was some very good SJ items published when the setting came out, you
should try and get them as .pdf or even off amazon or ebay.
Rock of Bral, Realmspace etc etc
They really add flavour and info for places to base your own campaigns
directly on, or alter to taste.

Wow. Mr. Shepherd described excellently how space feels small to me, and
great ideas about what to do about it.

I am also reminded of my explorations of the abandoned space area on an old
MUCK. Most of the systems were small and undescribed -- while perhaps this
is appropriate for someplace where the only notoriety is some mineral-rich
asteroids and no habitable worlds or colonies, in many cases a world _was_
sort of described, but there wasn't much to see, just a single room
describing the port and what it's like looking at the planet from orbit, or
something. Other times, a system clearly existed for the gratification of
the player who built it 'behold, my mighty SDF-1 ripoff is here, look how
great I am muwahahahaha!'. Often, a spaceport would actually be described in
a bit of detail, but not the rest of the planet. But in a rare handful of
cases, someone had actually described an entire space station and its
interior, or not just a spaceport but the city surrounding it and sometimes
a bit of the area beyond that!

Perhaps it would be a good idea for someone to actually describe what
settlements on a given world are like? If there is a specific spaceport then
certainly that place, but if there is some civilization on a world then
perhaps some idea of what their settlements are typically like so a DM has
some idea if the party decides to land there. Adventure hooks for given
planets would be good too.
